TSU’s Covington gets NBA combine invite

Published on May 10, 02:18 PM

We knew Murray State’s Isaiah Cannan would get a combine invite, but he won’t be the only OVC player attending. According to CBS’ Jeff Goodman, TSU standout Robert Covington has gotten a late invite to the event as well.

It truly is a late invite, as the combine is scheduled to begin on Wednesday.

ESPN will have live coverage of this year’s combine, starting at 9 a.m. CDT on ESPNU and at 1 p.m. on ESPN2 for both days of the combine. You can also access the combine coverage on ESPN3.com

Covington’s stock has been rising since the end of this season. Last month, Covington was named to the Portsmouth All-Tournament team. The 6’9″ forward has averaged at least 17 points a game each of the past two season, and over seven rebounds each of the past three.
